Emily Ley Simplified Planner Launch Party

Last night I headed to Atlanta for the Emily Ley Simplified Planner Launch party hosted by Swoozie's in Buckhead and it was a blast! In case you haven't heard, the new 2016 Simplified Planner was released on September 9th...

 (I've had this date in my calendar a long time....planning when to purchase your next planner is a thing!) 

And of course, I ordered one right away! 

I am absolutely LOVING the pineapple details in the 2016 planners. Pineapples are my favorite. I love baking with pineapple. Decorating with pineapple. Wearing all things pineapple. I even have a whole Pinterest board devoted to pineapple. My love affair for the cheerful fruit began after returning home from a trip to Hawaii a couple of summers ago and it has continued ever since. And I can't wait for my pineapple planner to arrive in the mail in the next few days.

Upon arriving at Swoozies, we were greeted at the party with fun some fun treats...

 more fun treats...

(gummy bears AND pineapple shakes!?! yum)

&then I got to meet and chat with Emily, the designer herself....

(aka my CREATIVE IDOL)- who is even sweeter in real life!! (which you really wouldn't think is possible, but it is. She's adorable!)

it was such a fun evening and I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new Simplified Planner at the front door! (maybe I'll make some pineapple cupcakes in the meantime!?) Thanks so much Swoozie's Buckhead for hosting such a fun evening and thanks Emily for inspiring us to achieve our creative dreams with joy and a standard of grace!
